The Scorpions met Austin’s USL side for the second time this year Wednesday at Toyota Field, and there were improvements.

They conceded fewer goals, and the final margin was closer. The end result, however, remained the same: The Aztex headed back home up I-35 in triumph, with a 2-0 result that eliminated the Scorpions from Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in the third round.
